Perfume Mini-Reviews From Twitter - July to September 2014 [part 1]

This new Harrods exclusive is actually the much-missed Attrape-Coeur by Mathilde Laurent. Attrape-Coeur was, of course, also known as Guet-Apens and was also released as an EDT called Vol De Nuit Evasion. Royal Extract is perhaps a touch more powdery and a bit less boozy than Attrape-Coeur, but it's essentially the same scent. And now, hold your breath for the crunch: a mere £285 for 125 ml. And it's a limited edition.

An interesting release, mainly because it serves to show how non-commercial most of the brand's wares are. Not this one though. A fruity shampoo-fest. Synthetic musks galore. Something I'd expect from YSL or D&G. Shades of Coco Mademoiselle.

Burnt whisky, patchouli, sangria, cinnamon, leather & stewed herbs all lead to a very decent amber base. More than a hint of Yatagan here. We've had this sort of thing before, but this is a more-than-competent rendition of the theme.

thanks for your snapshot reviews. Question regarding Lothair: allegedly, it was inspired by the Tea Clipper ships that carried tea and spices all the way from the East. Is there any track of black tea there? I didn't have the chance to sample it... Thanks!

Thanks very much for reading my site and taking the time to leave a comment.
